Within less than 500 miles 3 of the cooper lifeliner ste touring edition tires 225/60r16 went bad. All these tires had the majority of their tread remai ning. The first tire was replaced because it was causing a thump and shimmy. The second tire was similar. The last tire lost the tread at 60 miles an hour and caused the car to go sideways and out of control. The tires came with the car about two years ago. The car, a Lincoln Town Car, had about 38000 miles but these tires did not come standard with the vehicle, so it is suspected that they were new. The car is not driven much and there may be about 20,000 driving miles on the tire. There have been no accidents or incidents involving the vehicle since I have owned it.

New delta sierra dial tires purchased 06-04-04 for professional delivery vehicle. At 4,644 miles right rear tire tread totally separated while in route with client on freeway causing loss of control of vehicle, blowout, and extensive damage (approx $4,000. 00) to livery vehicle. Yokohama tire corp asked for tire and denied liability although offered "good will" offer of $2,000 within days. Product liability manager anne stott indicated a road hazard caused separation, not defect, and said a rock the size of her hand could have caused this. Husband kevin burns is only driver of vehicle and never recalled any such hazard or incident. His driving record is impeccable (over 35 years, professional driver total of 12 years) and kevin takes exceptional care of his vehicles. If only a rock like ms. Stott said did this we feel there is a serious lack of quality control in manufacturer's standards. There are other such complaints in file. If it were not for kevin's excellent driving skills (per client inside vehicle during incident) there most certainly would have been a serious accident with injuries. Collision center manager expressed concern to replace remaining 3 delta sierradial tires on car due to safety issues especially as we carry people for hire in our business.
